Wouldn't you cont. bet/semi-bluff in this spot with AK?

No.

I really hate not betting the flop on hand 1.

Is it at all ironic that you played a very strong hand as weak, and a very weak hand as strong, against a world class player, and now you're posting about them on here?

[betgo]

I realize you had position, but I am not crazy about calling raises with 32s. It seems like the trouble you got into is more or less what would be expected.

Hand 1:

He checked and I checked.

Hand 2:

Freddie bets 5000 !!!!

Are these happy exclamation points? The odds that you're beat here are really low.



I think you're playing way too scared. In hand 1, well you just have to bet. In hand 2, his bet doesn't make much sense, but it seems very unlikely to be a flush because he'd probably c/r. More importantly, you've got a really big hand and you've disguised it to some extent, so get money in.

In the first hand I think someone who re-raises substantially preflop and doesn't bet out on the flop looks too suspicious.

Hand 1: I bet pot, and proceed very carefully, as it turns out, you have to fold this river.

Hand 2: shove. a lead like that is often weak.

Against a guy like Deeb I would pick my strong hands and play them very decisively. Hand 1 is just such a hand. I would be trying to put him to the tough decisions when I am holding strong hands. I wouldn't be looking to tangle with him post-flop with 32s unless I'm getting great odds and willing to drop it unless I flop the nuts.

a pair of kings is not a strong hand. thinking like this is what makes freddy deeb a lot of money.

my dude,

this isn't a party super tournament where everyone has 75 bb and you get about 2.5 orbits per level. this is a tournament in which the stacks are 300 bb each and there is a shitload of money on the line. if you are willing to go broke with one measly pair in this situation, i wish you the best of luck.
